The synthesis of some 2-(dialkylamino)ethanethiols is described. A method involving formation of isothiouronium salts from 2-(dialkylamino)ethyl chlorides by the reaction with thiourea followed by the alkaline hydrolysis has been chosen. Prepared compounds can be used as the standards for the analytical chemical methods to monitor the chemical warfare agents and their precursors or metabolites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
